He added, "In the coming years, China will carry out space missions to explore the planets Jupiter and Uranus, as well as explore the edges of our solar system, and by 2025 we will launch a probe to explore asteroids relatively close to Earth."
The head of the foundation pointed out that "China, in the next 15 years, will carry out a space mission to deliver samples from Mars to Earth, and by 2028, build the basic structure of an international station on the surface of the moon, and Chinese experts are also working on developing a super-heavy space missile that will be able to transport Up to 150 tons of cargo to near-earth orbit.
China has been working remarkably actively in recent years on developing its own space program, developing vehicles, space missiles and satellites, and astronomers there are working on a project aimed at studying Mars, asteroids and celestial bodies, and it is supposed to start studying the surface of Mars in the period between 2020 and 2025.
Recently, the formation of the Chinese orbital station has been completed, which is supposed to officially start its missions and be used for space research.
